Description

This trail can start at the north park/picnic area or you can climb Howard Trail to the start behind Arthur's Rock like this map shows. Riding south to north is the way to do it.

Timber trail has some great riding with technical switchbacks, significant obstacles and some flowing singletrack.

The scenery is awesome on upper Timber Trail, but you better get off your bike first before looking at it.
